Overview of Deployment on an Existing Kubernetes Cluster

    Instructions for installing Kubeflow on an existing Kubernetes cluster. Some cloud providers and Kubernetes distributions have Kubeflow specific instructions for getting the most out of their Kubernetes. If your existing Kubernetes cluster is from one of them, consider following those instructions.

    • Your cluster must include at least one worker node with a minimum of:

      • 50 GB storage
      • 12 GB memory
      • Older versions of Kubernetes may not be compatible with the latest Kubeflow versions. The following matrix provides information about compatibility between Kubeflow and Kubernetes versions.
    • You need a default with a dynamic volume provisioner. For more information, refer to .
    • incompatible: the combination does not work at all
    • no known issues: the combination has not been fully tested but there are no reported issues

    Kubeflow deployment configuration

    The following table lists the options for installing Kubeflow on an existing Kubernetes cluster and links to detailed instructions. These solutions are vendor-neutral and are governed by consensus within the Kubeflow community.

    Deployment configDescription
    kfctl_k8s_istio.yamlThis config creates a vanilla deployment of Kubeflow with all its core components without any external dependencies. The deployment can be customized based on your environment needs.
    Follow instructions:
    kfctl_istio_dex.yamlThis config creates a Kubeflow deployment with all its core components, and uses Dex and Istio for vendor-neutral authentication.
    Follow instructions: Multi-user, auth-enabled Kubeflow with kfctl_istio_dex
